I plan to get by without using WiFi until the firmware is compatible with the firewall eschwartz mentioned. As far as I can tell, the only features I'd be foregoing by using the firewall are "collections" (I doubt I'd need these, whatever they are, as I don't ever expect to have more than 20 active documents at a time) and Wikipedia lookups (this is a shame).
Can you let me know what the firewall is called or where I can read more about it? That's the sort of functionality I was hoping for, so I'm curious to see how hard it would be to set it up in practice (once version 5.4.3.2 is compatible).
Can you let me know how you do this?

Here is the firewall:

Requirements:
Firmware 5.4.3.2 has been jailbroken, in fact any device under 5.4.5 can be jailbroken , and the PW2 with the newer firmware can be downgraded to jailbreak it... but more in the JB thread.
Good thing you don't have a KT2 2014, or the KV... those have not been jailbroken (yet, one hopes) although
possibilities ensue with a teardown and serial port usage, which is TMI for most people.
